EAP245 Losing internet with BandSteering

Hey there, I'm having issues with my EAP245. I've been troubleshooting some wireless issues over that last few weeks stemming from a pair of Wyze Wifi cams congesting my 2.4. I've put them on a TP-link N600 on CH1 (245 is on 11) that solved the majority of the issues, but now I've got issues with the 245 losing internet on phones (only real devices that are band steering). I guess the ideal solution is to get another unit and mesh them, however, it's a little hard to do so, when I'm having issues with one.
Speeds are great for 2.4, I'm getting 80 down in most areas of my house, decent enough for wifi. What will happen is on my Band steering SSID, after an hour or two, the phones lose internet. I can still connect to all upstream lan management pages ( EAP245, HP 1820 POE switch, and PFSense box) without issues, but no internet connectivity. I've made a 2.4 only network, and switching to that while the issue is occurring doesn't fix it, I have to disconnect wifi and reconnect to solve it. Being on 5g or 2.4g only, the issue doesn't appear.
I'm hoping to keep a single ap if possible, as I'm in a rental house with solid cedar log construction.... There ain't no fishing wires through these walls, 4" of solid wood interior and exterior... Oddly, these issues have seemed to come around after I added the N600, and seem to go away without it. It's flashed to DDWRT and running as a wireless AP only.
